HEWLETT HARBOR, N.Y. (Sept. 17, 2014) — After 18 holes of stroke play qualifying for match play at the Richardson Memorial Invitational, Hal Berman's one-under par round of 70 edged three players to take home medalist honors.

Berman will be the No. 1 seed when match play begins Thursday morning at The Seawane Club in Hewlett Harbor, N.Y.

Dave Segot, Don Enga, and Michael Karger all shot even-par on Wednesday, missing a playoff with Berman by one.

Berman lost in the final last year to Richard Aue, who missed qualifying for match play this year finishing in a tie for 21st after a 76.
